After two straight losses, the Philadelphia Eagles won their sixth game of the season by beating the Chicago Bears 24-20. Starting quarterback Donovan McNabb, wearing his Eagles jersey, did not give his hometown team a chance to end their losing streak.
McNabb threw for 244 yards and led his team on a 62-yard touchdown drive that running back LeSean McCoy capped with a neat 10-yard run, sealing the game as the Bears’ fifth loss in six games. McCoy scored the go-ahead touchdown on a 10-yard run following defensive tackle Antonio Dixon’s blocked field goal.
For the Bears, Sundays’ loss was another hit to their playoff hopes. Trading Jay Cutler from the Denver Broncos in the offseason just did not save them from losing fate as it has been more and more likely that the team will miss the postseason for the third straight season.

Eagles will play against Bears at scheduled time
The NFL announced Tuesday that the Philadelphia Eagles will play at Chicago against the Bears at scheduled time on Week 11 Sunday night.
As there is “flexible scheduling” in Weeks 11-17, the league has the option to change game schedules and decide which games will be shown in the prime time and late afternoon so that quality matchups will be televised.
The league will announce starting times of games following Week 11 no later than 12 days prior to the Sunday in question. And for Week 17 games, they can delay a few days until six days before the game day.
The Eagles will play against the Bears at 8:20 pm EST on Nov. 22.

Bears DT Harris inactive Sunday with sore left knee
The Chicago Bears played Sunday’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals without defensive tackle Tommie Harris, who had a sore left knee and listed as inactive for the game along with running back Adrian Peterson (different person from the running back in Vikings jersey), who also had a bad knee.
It was not surprise to see Harris inactive Sunday as he had missed team’s practice all last week. Also it was not surprise to see the Bears lost to the Bengals at 45-10 as the team’s linebacking unit got shuffled again with Pisa Tinolsamoa’s having knee injury. The Bears moved Hunter Hillenmeyer from middle to outside and had Nick Roach start in the middle.
Compared to Bears, the Bengals’ loss seemed much loss. Safety Roy Williams missed his second straight game on Sunday with a forearm injury but linebacker Domata Peko, who sprained his left knee last week, returned to team and started against the Bears.

Bye week could give Bears injured players time to recover
After winning three straight games, the Chicago Bears welcomed their bye week. Without game to play this week, the team will have time to take a good care of the injured players.
During last Sunday’s 48-24 win over the Detroit Lions, another player was added to the wounded list- wide receiver Devin Hester had an injury to the shoulder area during the game and his status became uncertain for the game against the Atlanta Falcons in two weeks. Other injured players to look other include back up running back Adrian Peterson, receiver Johnny Knox and defensive lineman Israel Idonije.
The list of banged-up Bears is long, as defensive tackle Tommie Harris said. “A lot of things didn’t happen the way we wanted them to happen, with all the injuries.” And Coach Lovie Smith said the team has not yet ruled out anybody and he hoped to see all of the guys wearing chicago bears jersey by the time of game.

Bears DT Dvoracek will undergo arthroscopic surgery on right knee
Chicago Bears defensive tackle Dusty Dvoracek is known as an oft-injured player. He was again inured in Saturday night’s 17-3 preseason victory over the Giants. An arthroscopic surgery thus will be performed Friday on his right knee.
It was reported that Dvoracek tore the anterior cruciate ligament, in the Saturday game, but Coach Lovie Smith said it was no more than a sprain and expected that Dvoracek would be able to play soon.
Unfortunate Dvoracek has had three seasons of being put on injured reserve and playing only 13 games totally in the three seasons. He should pray to fully recover before Sept. 5 when the final roster cut down to 53 players because his current contract will expire following this season.
